"How is this possible?!" Several officials turned pale after hearing this and said in disbelief.
"The holes in the city wall are there. If you don't believe it, you can go and see it." Sun Daiyin said calmly, "Currently, we only have 20,000 elite troops stationed in Liaodong City. Although it has the advantage of defending the city, it is not large. Tang’s siege weapon is too powerful! If we don’t get follow-up support, I can’t guarantee how long we can last.”
"Please tell me about the situation of other city gates."
"General Qi, Tang's cavalry troops have been discovered at the other three city gates. The number is not large, but there are at least two thousand cavalry stationed outside each city gate. They are not close to each other. It is difficult for us to make a sneak attack. But equally if we take any action, we cannot hide it from them."
"The key thing is that the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty has cut off our communication with the nearby Xuantu City, Gaimu City, Baiyan City, etc., and their situation and our situation cannot be determined." The guards of other city gates Report the news immediately.
"General Zhao, I wonder what your opinion is?" Sun Daiyin turned his attention to a general in the crowd, and his tone was quite respectful, because this man was a close confidant of Yeon Gaesumun, and Sun Daiyin was also considered a member of Yeon Gaesumun.
But what is different from this person is that Sun Daiyin has his own family, etc., but this person is Yeon Gaesomun's dead soldier, so he represents Yeongaesomun's opinions.
"My opinion has been conveyed. General Yuan means that the front line should obey General Sun's command, but there is one thing, that is, we must stick to Liaodong City!"
"General Sun and everyone should be very aware of the importance of Liaodong City to our country. This is the top priority of the entire Liaodong defense line. The city walls, city area, and defensive material reserves are the most complete in the entire Liaodong defense line."
"If this place is breached, it means that the Liaodong defense line will completely collapse, and the gate of Goryeo will also be completely opened!" Zhao Wu said calmly.
But what Sun Daiyin didn't know was that Zhao Wu was not at peace at the moment. He was indeed Yuan Gaisuwen's dead soldier, but like Liu Zhao, he had gone to the Tang Dynasty to assassinate His Highness the King of Qin and was released. people.
Captain Liu Zhao is not here. He is in Wugu City. As a dead soldier delivering messages for Yuan Gaisuwen and assisting in controlling the army, it is impossible for everyone to be on the front line.
Their task here is to supervise the generals on the front line. These people are very aware of the cruelty and influence of Yuan Gaisuwen. Only when they are here, these people dare not slack off.
Zhao Wu was on the city wall today, so when he saw the Tang army, he felt an indescribable sense of intimacy and shock, with its neat military appearance and extremely powerful ordnance.
If Yeon Gaesumun had such weapons and equipment, he would never give his enemies any chance to breathe, but would attack the city directly.
He could see that if Datang attacked the city, the city would not be able to hold on for long.
Because Yeon Gae So-moon’s always confident predictions were all wrong.
According to Yeon Gaesumun's original calculation, the Tang Dynasty could only equip an army with a fully armed armor similar to the Mingguang Armor, at most around 50,000.
The rest must be other armors. The Tang army has six different levels of armor, which are aimed at different levels of armies. This is not a secret, but the army that appeared outside the city today did not see the second type at all. armor.
All are heavily armed and armored! An armor that is even more protective than the Mingguang Armor!
Can Goguryeo defeat such an army? Not to mention that at least 10,000 cavalry invested by the Tang Dynasty today are all heavy cavalry, and the 20,000 cavalry active in the hinterland of Goguryeo are also likely to be heavy cavalry.
This means that in just one year, the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty have already surpassed Goguryeo's imagination, while the Goguryeo people are still complacent, and Yuan Gaisuwen and Gao Jianwu are still silent. Goguryeo once resisted the three million-strong army expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty. Among the brilliant achievements.
Armor does not represent everything, but armor represents the combat effectiveness of an army.
One hundred fully armed soldiers can defeat a thousand leather armored soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
But what needs to be said must be said, and the people here are not their people.
However, Zhao Wu thought of the news that he had passed back before.
They had already contacted Datang before the war started. According to Zhao Wu's idea, he would try his best to arrange all his brothers and the soldiers he could contact near the city gate.
Whether you secretly open the city gate at night or open the city gate during the Tang Dynasty's siege during the day, you can quickly capture Liaodong City.
But the news he received was that Datang asked him to arrange his people as far away from the city wall as possible and away from the river outlets in the city.
This made Zhao Wu's expression somewhat strange. Although he didn't know why the other party did this, since he said this, Zhao Wu could only explain it directly according to the other party's instructions.
It can be seen from this order that Datang was not prepared to let them open the city gate on their behalf.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wu was in a trance. In his arms, there was a red cloth strip. Once the Tang Dynasty began to attack the city and the city was about to be broken, they needed to quickly tie it to their arms. Something to prove your identity.
Zhao Wu's thoughts drifted to other places, but Sun Daiyin's heart sank when he looked at Zhao Wu's expressionless face.
In fact, after Sun Daiyin saw Datang's lineup today, he had an idea in his heart... that was to surrender.
Anyway, he was originally Han, and his ancestors were also Han, so there was no psychological burden for him to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
The most important thing is that Datang is too powerful! He can guarantee that even if they resist desperately, they may not be able to hold on for even three days before the city wall is breached.
And at that time, there were 20,000 elite soldiers in the city, including the 10,000 auxiliary troops that could be drawn from the auxiliary forces. How many people would be left in the end? And there are still 50,000 to 60,000 people in the city, how many people are left?
So Sun Daiyin wanted to surrender, but Zhao Wu was here... He couldn't say this unless... he killed Zhao Wu and then surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, surrendering to Datang would not allow any news to be sent back to Pyongyang, otherwise his family might be in danger.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, some of his family members still live in this Liaodong city.
"We will fight bloody battles to earn the emperor's salary and be loyal to the emperor." Sun Daiyin paused for a moment, and then spoke. When he said this, he could feel that the emotions of many people here changed slightly.
It can be seen that today's arrow had a great impact on these generals, not to mention ordinary soldiers!
